League of Women Voters isn’t ‘non-partisan’
The League of Women Voters should stop calling themselves “non-partisan.”
In her letter that appeared in your Oct. 25 Readers’ Forum, the president of the League of Women Voters of Indiana came out in favor of health care reform. She claimed the opponents of health care reform are guilty of “lies” and “distortions” but did not give any specific examples. Therefore, I went to the Web site of the national League of Women Voters to watch its media ad. This ad was also all rhetoric and no facts. While I was on their site, I also discovered the League is in favor of climate change legislation.
There has been vigorous debate in this country on health care reform and climate change, but what either of them have to do with voting rights escapes me.
In the past, we have trusted the League to moderate political debates because they were considered non-partisan. Now I have as much faith in the League of Women Voters to be non-partisan as I do ACORN and Al Gore.
The League appears to lean strongly Democratic on major political issues and have lost all claim to being non-partisan in my book.

Health care issue must be solved soon
Health care is very important and something needs to be done about it.
After I pay my rent and utility bills, there isn’t much money to pay the doctor and hospital bills.
If something doesn’t get soon, the Medicare trust fund will be in the red within the next 10 years. Health care costs for employers will rise 166 percent in the next decade alone. Fourteen thousand people a day will continue to lose their health insurance. A lot of people will file bankruptcy because there is no money to pay the doctor and hospital bills.
I hear you are talking about raising taxes on health care. That would only hurt the American people that are barely making ends meet.
We need to work together to make health care that everybody can afford.

Thankful for meal alternative
Kudos to Unity Presbyterian Church for hosting a spaghetti dinner and offering vegetarian and gluten-free options. I was recently diagnosed with Celiac disease after a lengthy illness and have found eating out difficult.
A Celiac support group for the Wabash Valley is being organized and will be sponsored by Regional Hospital. Hopefully, this will increase community awareness about this serious disease and offer support and education about diagnosis and diet.
Perhaps in the near future, we will see more gluten-free menus and options available for eating out. Thanks again Unity Presbyterian for breaking new ground!
